"The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring Tra-La!" for the first day of spring

This is a story I wrote in 2012 for the HOWDOWE - Vernal Equinox.  It officially became spring just after noon today, but now the falling hail has just turned to snow. Warnings are for 10-19 inches, with the worst of the storm to come tomorrow and continuing into Thursday.

This story was inspired by something that Avirra said to me, and posting it now I suppose is wishful thinking on my part!

HAPPY SPRING! Ha!

(Hope the storm doesn't damage the cherry blossoms...)

Like a Phoenix from Ashes

Illya was in the bowels of UNCLE NY’s headquarters in the section that housed the gym, showers and physical therapy facilities. He had been there all morning working out; first with a trainer and then on his own. Tomorrow, he would have to take and pass his physical. It was all that stood between him and the field as he had easily passed his firearms’ qualifying rounds. Medical had partially released him from their care. He would be fully released when (if) he re – qualified for field duty.

Low Flying Objects - for the HODOWE Vernal Equinox

Illya Kuryakin had been accused of possessing nine lives.  Today he felt as though one of them might be slipping away.

If blood could drain any faster from a gaping hole in his shoulder then he wasn’t aware of the statistics; the bullet had gone to ground in the deltoid muscle of the UNCLE agent’s left arm, something only slightly less damaging than had it been his right arm.  No doubt Mr. Waverly would have something to say about…

Dizziness was setting in, possibly shock.  Why had Napoleon not just stayed where he was?  It was going to be nearly impossible to get them both out of here, and Napoleon looked even worse than Illya felt.

The Flowers That Bloom In The Spring, Tra-la!

[identity profile] mrua7.livejournal.com
A response to the Howdowe challenge: The Vernal Equinox UNCLE HQ forum. Special thanks to Avirra for a “Topsy Turvy” inspiration...tra-la.

Summary: Napoleon and Illya have a brief discussion on the coming of spring.

Rating: Gen.
_______________________________________________________________


The sun was shining brightly, birds were chirping in the branches of the bare-boned trees, some beginning to blossom to life as the two agents headed along the weather-stained sidewalk towards their destination, the entrance of Del Floria’s and U.N.C.L.E. headquarters.

HODOWE: Vernal Equinox Challenge Story -- IGNIS FATUUS

Mar. 18th, 2012 12:20 am
[identity profile] carabele.livejournal.com
Name: IGNIS FATUUS
Genre: GEN
Warnings: NONE
Length: approx 2250 words

Author’s Note: This vignette was written for the HODOWE: Vernal Equinox Challenge and evokes the idea of an association between light, fire, creation and renewal.
It is a sequel (sort of) to my fanfic story Chimera, and thus reading that story first is recommended.

HODOWE: Vernal Equinox Challenge Guidelines

Feb. 24th, 2012 11:54 am
[identity profile] carabele.livejournal.com
Though the Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Carnivale challenge (Mardi Gras Challenge Guidelines) is still going on (you still have today and Saturday to post your stories for that), I wanted to post the guidelines for the next HODOWE challenge to give folks as much time as possible for writing.

CHALLENGE: Write an MFU fanfic story regarding the ideas embodied in the Vernal Equinox. The story doesn't have to necessarily mention or include the day by name; just embody a scenario that fits the concept behind it. Some general ideas in this regard: (1) renewal (physical, emotional or spiritual), (2) equality (day and night are perfectly equal at the equinox) and what more embodies the essence of U.N.C.L.E. than the equality of humanity?, (3) resurrection and rebirth (interesting concepts to play with, no?), and (4) the Vernal Equinox also has an association with light and fire that can be utilized.

STATISTICAL STUFF: Minimum of 500 words with no set maximum. Must fit into the overall concepts of this community, i.e., contain no explicit adult material and reflect the 1960s series in style and content.

POSTING: To this forum (and on fanfiction dot net), starting on March 18th and ending on March 24th.
